About the Business

We are working with a highly respected, long-established manufacturing and shopfitting company delivering bespoke joinery and architectural metalwork for premium, high-profile clients. Known for craftsmanship, quality, and stability, this business offers a genuinely hands-on environment where your work makes a visible impact.

The Role

This is not a desk-only CAD role. You’ll be involved from first drawing to finished product, working closely with the Works Manager and shop floor to turn architectural concepts into build-ready solutions.

What you’ll be doing:

• Producing high-quality 2D & 3D drawings (AutoCAD / Inventor)

  
  

• Interpreting architectural drawings and 3D visuals

  
  

• Designing with manufacture at the forefront

  
  

• Issuing approved drawings directly to production

  
  

• Supporting multiple bespoke projects end-to-end

  
  ✅ What We’re Looking For

  Essential:

  • Minimum 2 years’ experience in a CAD / setting out role

    
    

  • Experience designing for manufacture

    
    

  • Knowledge of joinery and/or metalwork

    
    

  • Strong understanding of manufacturing processes

    
    

  • Ability to translate architectural drawings into production-ready documents

    
    

    Desirable:

    • AutoCAD / Inventor experience

      
      

    • Joinery background

      
      

    • Proactive, can-do attitude

      
      

    • Comfortable working to deadlines

      
      ⭐ Why This Role Stands Out

      • Work on high-end, bespoke projects — no mass production

        
        

      • Be involved from concept to completion

        
        

      • Join a stable, long-standing business with real job security

        
        

      • Competitive salary with excellent benefits

        
        

        If you’re a CAD Engineer or Draughtsperson who wants more ownership, better projects, and long-term stability — this is one worth exploring.
